You know the greatest thing about beauty products? There are a ton of them out there. The worst? There are a ton of them out there. Our point? It can be tough to figure out which lotions and potions are the best.

So in our continual quest to make your life just a little easier, we got leading dermatologists, makeup artists, and hairstylists to reveal their top picks.

Then WH editors got busy slathering, smoothing, brushing, and smearing themselves silly to come up with our annual list of MVPs (most valuable products). We even found 18 of the best beauty products for under eight bucks!
